Thanks Vi. I sometimes wish I can grow them out in the garden like yours.

Alvin, you grow them nicely. Did you mind share with us yours indoor setup?
Hi Casey,
Over the past year I have been downsizing my collection due to nematode attack (some plants could not be saved), so
I currently have a setup which is this:

I elevate the plants closer to the light on upturned plastic containers.


I've taken off the cooling fan as I switch on the air conditioning at night, and the PL lights are on from 7am to 10 pm. During daytime ventilation is provided by the table fan which is on timer from 9 am to 5 pm.
